Wildlife Friendly Garden Redesign
Traditional Garden, Hampshire
Thomas Stone
the clients wanted a lawn put in, with raised beds around the edge with some screening from next door. they have a keen interest in wildlife and football.
I used softwood sleepers to create a raised bed area, that was at an ideal level to double up as seating if they have a few people around, underneath the top sleeper, I created a space for different wildlife habits using wood from cleared plants and left over sleepers ends, brick and stone finished it off with a small fossils in the stone, planting was selective to both suit the environment and to attract pollinating insects into the garden. small betula 'grayswood Ghost' was chosen to look like goal posts. on the other side, screening was done with cordon apple and pear trees underplanted with wildflower turf.
in all the clients love their garden
